Bumped a curb this morning.
As I was parking at my Dunkin Doughnuts this morning, my left front wheel hit the curb. I friggin hate when that happens! Seems to drive the same as before, even on the highway. Do you guy`s think I should get the alignment checked anyway?

Been there friend. If your car does not pull to one side or the other, you likely do not have an alignment issues that would be severe. I would visually inspect the toe in and camber angles caparitive to the tire / side that did not hit the curb. If you can spot a difference with your naked eyes, you have definitely got an issue. If not, you could drive for a while and watch your tire wear and tear closely over the next few months to ensure you don't have an issue.
On a side note, if you have never had an alignment and you have over 75000 miles, its never a bad thing to have it checked by a proper shop (uses laser alignment tools). Also, you can always measure tread depth from tire to tire at specific points on each tire to compare. That is a good indicator too. Good luck, hope you didn't knock that curb too hard.
